Don’t get forced into buying more than you need

Check the accounting books. You’ll pay more for Salesforce in the long run because you have to hire and rely on a herd of admins to support any changes. That’s not the case with Zendesk. You get the total costs upfront, including licences, implementation and ongoing administration.
